    RE: FCIP - Proposed changes in support of common FC encapsulation



    Only one comment on this. You suggest the following text:
    
    "The FCIP receiving
    device MUST reverse the FC frame encapsulation process, verify the
    correctness of the header discarding frames with header errors, and
    deliver the FC frames to the correct FC ports connected to the FCIP
    device."
    
    The part about "discarding frames with header errors" is
    confusing because FCIP header errors will result in loss of
    synchronization and Section 8.1 will then define the action
    to be taken.

    In the 3rd paragraph of section 4.3, replace:
    
          Each FCIP data frame is built by adding an FCIP header to one FC
          frame delivered to the FCIP endpoint for transport. The FCIP data
          frames are handed in their entirety to TCP; TCP is responsible for
          delivering the same series of FCIP data frames to the receiving
          side in the same order as they are transmitted by the sending FCIP
          device.  The FCIP device MUST find the FCIP headers and deliver
          the FC frames wrapped inside the FCIP data frames to the correct
          FC ports connected to the FCIP device.
    
    with:
    
          An FCIP data frame is built by encapsulating one FC frame delivered
          to the FCIP endpoint for transport using the encapsulation format
          described in the common FC Frame Encapsulation [23] and in section
          5.2 of this document.  The FCIP data frames are handed in their
          entirety to TCP; TCP is responsible for delivering the same series
          of FCIP data frames to the receiving side in the same order as
          they are transmitted by the sending FCIP device.  The FCIP receiving
          device MUST reverse the FC frame encapsulation process, verify the
          correctness of the header discarding frames with header errors, and
          deliver the FC frames to the correct FC ports connected to the FCIP
          device.
